High-quality, high performance, and high reliability – the Sunmodule Plus® is
designed and built for long-term yield stability and ease of use.
Every module is factory flashed at standard test conditions (STC) to determine the
power output and then sorted in 5 watt increments. Only modules with a flashed
power that is greater than or equal to the nameplate rated power is delivered. Flash
report data is provided with every order.
The proven design of the patented low profile Sunbox junction box, has been
installed on over 4,000,000 modules. Integrated by-pass diodes and sealed welded
connections ensure reliability and eliminate failures resulting from exposure to the
elements. The molded fins on the exterior housing dissipate heat quickly to
maximize power output.
The patented box channel frame design provides extraordinary stiffness in bending
and torsion. The laminate with 4mm glass is set deep in the frame channel and
secured with precision applied adhesive. The frame is assembled by press fit to
maximize strength and longevity. The result is an extremely robust package that can
be mounted in any orientation and can withstand static loads of up to 113 psf.
SolarWorld provides a 5-year workmanship warranty* and 25-year linear perfor-
mance guarantee*
